Revolut is an international payments startup that aims to bridge the gap between traditional banking and cryptocurrency.

The platform currently allows users to link a bank account and buy, hold and exchange Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. Users can then convert their crypto to 25 fiat currencies and spend it using prepaid debit cards from Mastercard and Visa.

This use case of Ripple’s technology differs from Santander’s recent announcements about Ripple. The Revolut plan is specifically designed for XRP. Santander’s new OnePay FX, an international payments platform, utilizes Ripple’s xCurrent technology.

Revolut also touts free international money transfers and the ability to spend money around the world at the interbank exchange rate without extra fees.

The company launched in 2015 and says it now handles more than 15 million transactions per month.
